In this thought-provoking lecture series, Hansen explores the concept of Christ's divine mission to Middle-earth through three distinct aspects of his office. As a scholar of Jewish studies, David E. Greenberg delves into the historical and cultural context that underpins Jesus' encounter with the Israelites in the land of the Jews.

In this groundbreaking work, Greenberg examines the ways in which Christ's mission intersects with the complexities of Middle-earth's own mythology and history. Drawing on insights from medieval Jewish thought and literary analysis, he reveals how the figure of Christ can be seen as a syncretic fusion of divine and human qualities, reflecting the tensions between the sacred and the profane.

Through this lens, Greenberg explores the ways in which Christ's mission to Middle-earth can be seen as an apocalyptic narrative that challenges the dominant worldview of his time. As such, The Messiah Comes to Middle-Earth offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of faith and culture, illuminating new paths for understanding the complex relationships between divine and human agencies in medieval Jewish thought.
